Keep. No vote. County executives for counties of this size are notable. -LtNOWIS (talk) 21:01, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
- WP:POLITICIAN would suggest otherwise, unless significant coverage in independent reliable sources can be demonstrated. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:01, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
- She qualifies as a major local politician who has received significant press coverage, as evidenced by the dozen newspaper citations. I would say that a top-level county official is as notable as a top-level city official. In other words, the executive of a county of this size is as notable as the mayor of a city of comparable size, and we would definitely keep the mayor of Fresno or Kansas City. But population isn't the determinant; press coverage is. And there has definitely been enough press coverage. -LtNOWIS (talk) 18:31, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- You say "the executive of a county of this size...". According to the article the subject was an executive, not the excecutive, so would be the equivalent of a member of a city council, not a mayor. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- OK, it appears I misunderstood then. Although it would appear there are only three commissioners, she wasn't in the top spot. I'll abstain and see what other people say. -LtNOWIS (talk) 20:50, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

- County commissioners in Pennsylvania are both legislators and executives for the county, perhaps a challenge to the understanding for those who don't have this peculiar form of government, with two of the three possible branches of government combined in the same three elected officials. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:17, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep County commissioners of large counties in Pennsylvania are important even when in the minority of the three commissioners. This official is well documented. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:13, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
